Neither did I say that the Lord’s table is a snare and a trap for the authenic Christian. But He does say that that particular table has been prepared by God and placed in the presence of his enemies. And the only places that table is found is in contemporary so called “Christian” church houses. The Lord’s enemies are those who are occupants of the pulpits in those places not the persons on the benches. The Lord lothes preachers and has never met one he does not hotly dislike for they lie to the people.

Jesus did not state in the scriptures that the Lord’s Supper was instituted as a trap for Christians. I am sorry, but I have to conclude that there is no way to have a productive discussion with you.

Since it is stated in the scriptures and both are direct quotes of Jesus, who is the first authenic Christian, I think it would be a strech to accept assigning the credit to me. As he said “If you would have believed Moses and the Psalms you would have also believed Me.” That you in fact don’t, it is not my problem. I rather think that it is only profitable to accept what he says is true first then work to figure out why what he said is true.

So, you think that the Lord instituted the Lord’s supper as a trap for us? And were you the first Christian in history to figure this out?

Mr. Coleman,
It is not an idea of mine. Study the scriptures yourself.
“May their table be a snare and a trap for them.”
“For God has prepared a table before Me in the presence of My enemies.”
Doesn’t that table sit right down front of every so called Christian church house in existance? You are misleading yourself by thinking one becomes guilty of the Lord’s body and blood by participating at this table as eating and drinking as if at a banquet. One becomes guilty of the Lord’s body and blood at this table by NOT discerning that the Lord’s body and blood is an accountable sin for each man to repent of. And then he participates upon the basis of approving of Jesus’ crucifixion, which is actually the sin of murder caused by bloodshed, as a direct benefit for himself, as you have done, and they were taught prior to crucifying him. Do not think the inclusive pronoun “them” is a reference to the Jews. For they have enough trouble just by crucifying him and they do not observe the Lord’s. The offense of Jesus’ crucifixion is imputed to every Gentile who dares to think, discern, that he has gained direct advantage for himself by another man’s murder caused by bloodshed. The Lord’s table is actually a snare and a trap for God’s set purpose to show that the Lord’s death caused by bloodshed has not exonerated any man of anything.

No. Where did you get that idea? Are you talking about participating unworthily (see 1 Cor. 11:27-29), eating and drinking as if at a banquet, or just participating?

Mr. Coleman isn’t it true that a person who paticipates in the Lord’s table makes himself guilty of the Lord’s body and blood?

We are not having the guilt of crucifying Jesus imputed to us. We have guilt for our own sins. Jesus is accepting punishment on our behalf for our own sins, not for sins imputed to us because of the crucifixion.

The popular common assumption of Jesus’ crucifixion is the idea that it has resolved all issues of guilt for any one who thinks it has. However since Jesus’ is the LORD”S (God’s) anointed and hands were streched out aganist him to crucify him those who did became guilty. But the guilt of crucifying him wasn’t confined to only those who crucified him instead it was imputed to everyone ref. Jn. 16:8. How is one historical unrighteous act imputed unilaterally and perpetually? CMP’s text promted me to connect Jn. 16:8.

Post #30: I have no idea what you are trying to say. Perhaps you should re-phrase.
